The video I used for the myths retelling portion of the exam is from the 6 episode BBC series 'Myths Switch'. This is the fifth episode of the series and is titled "Escape from the underworld". The primary contrast between the retold version and the original version is the atmosphere of the story. The first contrasting element is highlighted by the decor. In the video, the Underworld is described as an underground bar/club, with Hades being the owner of the bar. To complete this observation, the bar displays an electronic banner stating “UNDERWORLD”. The fact that the bar is located below where people stay during the day illustrates the theme of boundaries that is important in ancient Greek myths. The idea of ​​an underground club is actually linked to the underworld due to its underground location. Moreover, Orpheus' careful journey along the dark entrance leading to the club must be seen as the modern illustration of the "Taenarian gate leading to the dark Styx" as told in the original myth. He had to dodge the iron bar and describes the difficulty level. The sight of happy people buying alcohol and having fun is different from the tale of "pale, glittering ghosts" and ghosts told in the original myth. Bars are places where people spend their evenings relieving pressure, while the underworld is a place of despair and horrible ghosts. However, the faint presence of light in a club resembles the flickering hope that foreshadows Orpheus' momentary success. Then in the video, Orpheus asks for Hades and sees Hades kicking out a stranger out of frustration. This depicts the line between a customer and an owner, and ultimately juxtaposes the mortality of humans with the divinity of the gods. The theme is again shown as Hades...... middle of paper ...... they gave Orpheus verbal permission to take Eurydice back while the video uses a more physical sign of permission. Eurydice then tells Orpheus that he must not let Hades see us and not look behind him. This contrasts with the original version since it is Hades who mentions that he cannot look back at Eurydice as they leave the underworld. Without a doubt, Orpheus turns around and meets Hades' gaze. As they leave the club and begin to enter civilization, the lovers cross a series of steps that represent the division between the underworld and the mortal world. Thus, the narrated video version emphasizes the theme of pride and boundaries. The theme of borders is consistent with the original story while pride is not mentioned. Additionally, the mood is also very divisive as the original is much more focused on the heartbreak of losing Eurydice twice..
